Terms of Service

These terms cover your use of Bindery, a writing studio operated by Bindery (“we”). By using Bindery you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

What Bindery does

Bindery helps you turn material you provide into a draft book, check that draft against your material, design a cover, and export files. Drafts are produced with AI models. They can contain errors, and the honesty check can miss things or flag things that are fine. You are the author and publisher: read and verify everything before you publish or sell it.

Your content

You keep all rights to the material you bring and to the books you make. We claim no ownership of either. You are responsible for having the right to use what you upload, including transcripts and documents that involve other people.

If you publish on a marketplace such as Amazon KDP, you are responsible for following that marketplace's rules, including any requirement to disclose AI-assisted content.

Free plan and subscription

• The free plan lets you try a limited part of the studio without a card.
• Bindery Pro is $14.99 per month and Bindery Narrator is $24.99 per month. Both are billed monthly in advance through Stripe and renew automatically until you cancel.
• Moving from Pro to Narrator charges the difference for the rest of the current billing period at the time you upgrade.
• You can cancel at any time from Settings. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for.
• If your first payment wasn't what you expected, write to us within 7 days of that charge and we will refund it. Later charges are not refunded for partial months.
• We may change the price for future billing periods and will tell subscribers before a change takes effect.

Your access link

Bindery has no passwords. Your subscription is tied to a private access link. Anyone who has the link can use your subscription, so keep it to yourself. If you think it has been shared, contact us and we will replace it.

Fair use

Pro is meant for one person writing their own books. Don't share an access link across a team, resell access, automate requests to the service, or use Bindery to produce unlawful, infringing, or deceptive material. Requests are screened automatically, and Bindery declines to write or illustrate sexual content, instructions for violence or crime, attacks on groups of people, dangerous health claims, and impersonation. Paid plans include monthly fair-use limits on drafts, cover art, and audio. We may limit or end access that puts the service or other customers at risk.

Where your books live

Manuscripts are stored in your own browser, not on our servers. Clearing your browser data deletes them, and we cannot recover them. Use the backup export regularly.

No guarantees about results

Bindery is provided as is. We make no promise about sales, income, marketplace approval, or fitness for a particular purpose. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim arose.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the service changes; the date at the top shows the latest version. Questions go to admin@millionroots.com. Our privacy policy explains what data we handle.
